During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth. This alignment occurs when the Moon is in the new - moon phase. In the new - moon phase, the side of the Moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the Sun (as the Moon is between the Sun and Earth), which is the necessary condition for a solar eclipse.
